The Giants, Fioana Apple and the Hero Pig

Good morning!

The Giants are a towering trend on Twitter this
morning after a thumping of the Carolina Panthers, 36-7, on Thursday night
football. The Giants swarming defense
shut down Cam Newton, sending in five pass rushers at times and forcing two interceptions
in the process. Newton ended up with 3
interceptions and only 6 yards rushing - just days after a career-high 71 yards
against the Saints. Meanwhile, Andre Brown ran for a career-high 113 yards and
two touchdowns in his first NFL start to help lead the Giants to the win.

Scarlett Johansson is a hot search after word that
she is returning to Broadway to star in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." She'll play Maggie the Cat in the play's
fifth Broadway revival. Johansson won a
Tony for her work in the Arthur Miller play "A View from a Bridge" in
2010. Benjamin Walker, who starred in
"Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," will play her husband, Brick. "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" will begin
previews at the Richard Rodgers Theater on December 18 and open on January 17.

Another Tony-award winning actor, Ben Vereen, is
making news off the stage. Vereen filed
for divorce from his wife of 36 years.
The actor and dancer married Nancy Bruner Vereen in July 1976. Court papers cite irreconcilable differences
as the reason for the split. They
apparently separated last March.
Vereen, 65, won a best actor in a musical Tony for his role in
"Pippin" in 1973.

A drug-sniffing dog detected marijuana in her tour bus at a checkpoint
in Sierra Blanca. Other celebrities
arrested in Sierre Blanca on marijuana charges including country singer Willie
Nelson, rapper Snoop Dogg and actor Armand Hammer. Apple spent the night in jail before posting

Paris Hilton is apologizing after a video surfaced
online in which she was overheard saying gay men were "disgusting"
and "probably had AIDS."
Ironically, RadarOnline.com reports the audio was recorded while Hilton
was riding in a cab with an "openly gay male model" during Fashion
Week in New York on September 7. Hilton
issued a lengthy apology to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation. "Gay people are the
strongest and most inspiring people I know," she wrote.

Meanwhile, Roscoe Dash became a Twitter trend after
spending most of the day complaining about not receiving proper credit on songs
like "To the World" on Cruel Summer and "Lotus Flower Bomb"
on Ambition. He tweeted that he wrote
the hook on Wale's Number 1 hit single sung by Miguel. For
his part, Miguel called the claims "retarded" and said the
"people who deserve credit on the song are listed."
